ASU hits NVIS modification landmark
ASU fitted their 1000th NVIS modification on a Med-Trans Bell 407GXP.
A Bell 407GXP owned by Med-Trans Air Medical Transport (Med-Trans Corp.) was recently the lucky recipient of Aviation Specialties Unlimited (ASU) 1,000th FAA-approved night vision cockpit modification. The modification was completed at Wysong Enterprises, Inc. in Blountville, Tennessee, US.
In the 21 years that ASU has been performing night vision cockpit modifications, it says it has made 47 Bell 206 and 127 407s night vision compatible. Med-Trans Corp. claims to be one of the first air medical units to have its entire fleet night vision compatible.
“Achieving our 1,000th FAA Certified Cockpit Modification is a major milestone for Aviation Specialties Unlimited,” said ASU director of training and chief pilot Justin Watlington. “In more than 20 years we have modified aircraft all over the world. We could not have reached this milestone without the support of companies like Wysong Enterprises and customers like Med-Trans Corp.”
Med-Trans Corp. director of maintenance Josh Brannon added: “ASU has been a long standing source for all of our NVG needs. Over the years, we have had numerous aircraft modified by ASU … Congratulations to the entire team at ASU for achieving this milestone.”
